Irvine Herald
"Superb.... this gem of a book"

Lloyd's List
"While many books have been written on the Clyde and its maritime tradition, few can be as evocative as Len Paterson's work celebrating the life and work of photographer Dan McDonald.... - a fitting memorial to a man who spent his whole life cataloguing the ships he loved"

From the Back Cover
"Many people with romantic notions... wanted to be taken on board... Dan McDonald was always welcome... and so was his camera." "...a tribute to one of Glasgow's unsung heroes and to the River that he loved."

Bringing Back Memories
This is an excellent book and wonderful photography of all kinds of vessels which used the River Clyde. The photos by Dan McDonald author of the "Clyde Puffer" are great. I have happy memories of Glasgow where I lived for 16 years and my first employment was with a shipping company there at the age of 14 in 1941. For anyone interested in ships and shipping this is a must
